Yield potential and Yield gaps of irrigated rice in Uruguay and other rice producing countries.

CARRACELAS, G. - GUILPART, N. - CASSMAN, K. - GRASSINI, P. - ZORRILLA DE SAN MARTÍN, G.

Resumen:

The Uruguayan rice sector has become one of the most successful and most integrated agricultural industries in the country. Rice yields in Uruguay have increased at one of the highest rates worldwide (147kg-1 ha-1 yr-1 from 2000 to 2016), although these trends exhibited a marked slowdown in recent years (DIEA, 2016) . The aim of this work is to estimate rice yield potential (Yp) and current exploitable yield gaps (Yg) at regional and local-farm levels in Uruguay and conduct comparative analysis with other rice countries included in the global yield gap atlas - GYGA.
